    Nigerian dancehall crooner, Patrick Okorie better known as Patoranking has urged his colleagues and other celebrities to take their ‘giveaway’ gestures off the social media platforms and reach-out directly to impoverished Nigerians.

    The versatile singer made the call in a tweet he shared on Wednesday, adding that the needy who do not have social media accounts were the most disadvantaged people amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

    He wrote: “Instead make we artist come together and contribute money to support people, Those once wey no Dey online Oo.

    “Wey understand wetin giveaway mean (people for slums and ghetto) wey Dey disadvantaged due to this Covid-19 Lockdown, una Dey here Dey talk about this Vs This, Wise up.”

    ‘Giveaway’, is now trendy term on social media, depicting a humanitarian stimulus package to cushion the economic effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on ordinary citizens.

    Many Nigerian celebrities are now sending ‘giveaways’ in form of money or data to fans so that they can stock up their homes with foodstuffs as they observe the stay- at -home order.

    In the past few days, some celebrities who have been involved in the social media ‘giveaways’ spree included Peruzzi, Toyin Abraham, Yemi Alade, Don Jazzy, Runtown and DJ Kaywise, among others.

    Nigerian music producer and record label boss has averred that insecurity in the country has affected showbiz earning and made touring difficult.

    The 37-year-old singer disclosed this while speaking with HipTV on industry dynamics.

    According to him, shows within the country have always been a major income source for artistes but that changed after security concerns became an issue to consider in the choice of cities to tour.

    This, he said, was why some artistes have stuck to touring mostly Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

    “Something has been troubling over the last three years and that has to do with insecurity in the country. Lots of people used to say we earn mostly from shows back in the days,” he said.

    “Nowadays, we don’t do as many shows as we do before because of security reasons, you know the whole killing in the north; kidnapping started affecting our gigs.

    “I remember days with DBanj when you get up one day and tour the country. Now, people are just keeping it to Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, and a few other states because of the security problem.

    “If the government can help us fix this, touring will be easier. People like Tuface, Psquare, and Dbanj became great entertainers because of the numbers of shows they staged around the country.”
